unique premonitions,
[keeping me from sleep]
sudden intuition,
[things I shouldn't see]
...
all those late night phone calls-
just to hear you speak;
with nothing left to say,
i'd listen to you breathe.
...
can you see it in her eyes
does it take you
by surprise
did you find
...
resisting my roots,
ignoring my flaws;
who are you to be
invading my thoughts.
...
she speeds home to apologize;
she didn't mean what she said.
tears welling up in her eyes,
she clutches the note to her chest.
...
hold me tightly
in your arms,
though permanently
temporary.
...
whether you believe
times have changed
or people don't
it's all the same
...
i forgot the pieces that wouldn't fit
-as you fed my hope and smiled for me-
you held my hands and kissed my lips
-though your actions lied to some degree-
...
fall with me into the waves
flooding from within
melancholy oversight
seeping through my skin
...
